 Chapter 70: Fifth Night Part Five

Un-edited so please don’t kill me if you find anything wrong, please gently commenting so I can fix it. Thank you.

Fang Daichuan was out of his mind for a moment, and it was only after a moment that he reacted, hugging Li Sinian’s back without leaving a single gap.

“Uncle chose this path on his own.” Fang Daichuan’s voice was firm, “I’m sure that when he left, he must have been particularly at peace. In any case, he has already received the punishment he deserves, and we, as younger generations, can only respect his choice.”

Li Sinian sniffed on the side of his neck. He turned half of his face to the side, the bridge of his nose was straight, but the tip of his nose was red and swollen, somehow he felt more down-to-earth compared to before.

Fang Daichuan put his dry lips gently on his temples and coaxed him, “if he hadn’t chosen this way, your childhood would have been much happier. You might not have the character and temper you have today, and we might not have met. Even if we met, we might not have interacted. It is the pain of the past that shapes you today. Would it be better to think so?”

“Why I never know that you are a philosopher.” Li Sinian straightened his body, shook his head with a bitter smile. He sniffed, the thick nasal sound in his voice, combined with the wet little curly hair, made him look a little cute.

Fang Daichuan carefully observed his expression: “I am not only a philosopher, I am also a poet.”

“You said, ‘What cannot be said can never change what can be said.’*, but you see, human beings are so unique and unreasonable. They are born with self-interest instinct, yet they also have weapons powerful enough to counter that instinct. They are vicious and kind, dangerous and charming. They have conquered the world, destroyed countless species and climbed to the top of the food chain, but they have awe and responsibility for the whole world. The human heart is indescribable, but the charm of the human heart lies in this illogical inspiration. Eventually this gives birth to countless lights that make stars shine and life goes on.”

(T/N : Sinian said this on chapter 29.)

——This is the line for his next Interstellar movie. A dedicated actor like Fang Daichuan has memorised the script early and has rehearsed it countless times at home. Now that he blurted out, he didn’t even need to temporarily organise his facial expressions and tone. While hugging him, he put on a righteous and hopeful expression but secretly raised his eyes cautiously, secretly looking at Li Sinian’s reaction.

After he recited this long line, Li Sinian did not speak for a long time.

Did he find out? Fang Daichuan scratched his head in distress. Did I talk too much? Did he notice me reciting my lines?

——No, Li Sinian didn’t notice Fang Daichuan’s cute little secret at all. He looked at Fang Daichuan’s firm and gentle eyes and just wanted to kiss him.

He got closer, so close that the two of them could feel each other’s breathing.

Fang Daichuan froze in place, swallowing several times. He closed his eyes.

“Ah–!”

A scream came from downstairs, almost piercing their eardrums!

Li Sinian stood up and quickly opened the small door.

Yang Song’s voice was urgent, she shouted: “Is there anyone! Fang Daichuan! Li Sinian! Help!”

The two looked at each other and the ambiguity floating in the air instantly dissipated. Li Sinian lifted his leg and ran down. Fang Daichuan was still behind the long table. With beautiful parkour, he jumped over the long table. The two ran downstairs one after the other.

In the room at the end of the second floor, the door has been completely destroyed and turned upside down. The traces of fire on the wallpaper are obvious. The windows were wide open and half the curtains were blowing in the wind.

Niu Xinyan half climbed on the window frame, her fingernails pinched the burnt and deformed window frame and her index finger was as pale as a hook. Yang Song put her arms around Niu Xinyan’s waist and dragged her back desperately, shouting for help as she did so.

A skinny little girl trying to hold back someone who hell-bent on dying, is really impossible. Niu Xinyan has fallen half a foot* high.

(T/N : 15.24 cm)

Fang Daichuan was scared to death. At this time, he didn’t care about the proper distance between men and women. He tightly squeezed Niu Xinyan’s shoulder with his right hand, and held her waist with the other hand and threw the other party back into the room.

The burn marks around her were conspicuous. Niu Xinyan was wearing a pure white nightdress, her skinny legs were exposed in the air, eerily white, like a gorgeous and decadent ghost.

Fang Daichuan and Yang Song looked at each other with a look of fear.

Niu Xinyan fell to the floor, holding her face and crying.

Li Sinian handed her a handkerchief, nobody knows where he found it.

Fang Daichuan asked Yang Song with his eyes, “What’s going on?”

Yang Song squeezed his eyes and said: “The child is dead.”

Fang Daichuan was shocked. In fact, it was predictable, Fang Daichuan comforted himself, the burns were severe and he is a small child.

“Don’t cry,” Yang Song seemed a little agitated. She paced around Niu Xinyan and seemed to be hesitant to say it. “You have to find the arsonist before you die. Your son is in heaven. Don’t you need to punish the murderer for your own sake?”

Niu Xinyan instantly stopped crying. She slowly raised her head, her eyes were bloodshot and her expression was gloomy and cold.

“What do you know?” Niu Xinyan’s voice was rigid and did not fluctuate.

Yang Song bit her lip: “Ding Zihui has a scarf wrapped around her right hand,” she paused and opened her mouth a few times before continuing, “I accidentally saw this big burn mark when she was washing her hands.” She said, gesturing the size of a coin.

(T/N : The scarf part can be read on chapter 62)

Niu Xinyan’s left eye and chin trembled, she gritted her teeth: “Ding Zihui?”

Yang Song nodded.

Fang Daichuan took out the card he was carrying and sighed.

There are only a few people left. Li Sinian said that Yang Song was an idiot and Niu Xinyan was probably a villager, so he simply stopped hiding it.

“Ding Zihui came to me a few days ago with a villager card. I didn’t pay attention to it at the time. But today we found the body of the beer belly that died on the first day and I found a villager card on him.” Fang Daichuan said straight to the point, “These days, when we think about the role, we always intentionally or unintentionally ignore the beer belly. We thought there are only 4 special roles, 4 villagers and 4 wolves, so we always forget the beer belly. But beer belly must have a role, is it possible that he is the legendary third-party faction? No matter how I look at it, I don’t think so. Did someone occupy beer belly’s role? What kind of role does this person have? Where did Ding Zihui’s village card come from? Someone stole the beer belly’s identity card but then, why bother returning it to him?”

Fang Daichuan asked repeatedly, but no one could answer him.

“Yo, it’s so lively here.” Du Wei’s voice came from outside the door.

Everyone looked back, Du Wei was leaning against the door frame holding a half bottle of wine. In the dark corridor, his face was blurred, but his eyes were bright.

“What are you talking about? It is cold, why are you sitting on the ground?.” He said and walked in.

Li Sinian stood behind Fang Daichuan. He looked around at the people standing in the room, and whispered in Fang Daichuan’s ear, “You hold them here and I will go out to check people while it is chaotic here.”

Fang Daichuan only now remembered and his heart tightened: “Is it safe outside?”

“Everyone is here, there’s only Ding Zihui outside, as long as I’m on guard, she can’t touch me,” he said in his ear, his hot breath spill on his earlobe, “I have to make sure Ding Zihui’s Identity, from the information we have, there is nothing about her. On the surface she seems to have nothing to do with this killing game yet she is involved with everyone in this killing game, she is too dangerous. “

While everyone was talking, Li Sinian slip out of the room and disappeared into the darkness of the corridor.

Fang Daichuan remembered his speculation about the boss behind the scenes and the ominous premonition in his heart grew stronger.
